Suffix pronouns

Ancient Egyptian language has four distinct types of personal pronouns:

1) Suffix pronouns

2) Dependent pronouns

3) Independent pronouns

4) Compound pronouns

Notes:

In the transliteration, a “.” or “=” is placed before suffix pronouns to differentiate it from other pronouns and articles, and to show that it is related to the preceding  word.

The adjective𓇋𓂋𓐰𓏭iry is sometimes used as an unchangeable substitute for the suffixes of the third person singular or plural.

The impersonal pronoun 𓏏𓅱 tw is used to imply someone as in:  Dd.tw ‘One says’.

The variant writings of the singular and plural second feminine indicates the interchange between t and T.

Different writings of first person singular suffix are known. The first person suffix pronoun was often omitted.

Dual forms of the suffix pronoun are known but rarely used. Plural forms are used instead.
